Ok then here is a tutorial for Mandelbulb 3D on how to make the "Tuber" pieces I've been doing lately. Hope you have fun and let me know if you have any trouble. It's a zipped html file so unzip, click on the html file and have at it!

The version linked to below is a new version. The version the tut was written with is no longer available as far as I know. So some of the interface will be slightly different. Note me if you have trouble with it.

I have been looking at fractals for a few months now and am crazy over them... I have also looked at the various options for fractal generation >>>> Whew!!!! a bit bedazzling.... could you kindly advise a program for dummies.

I haven't tried a fractal program yet that wasn't difficult in its own way. There are may tutorials out there for Apophysis, but I don't think it is any easier than Mandelbulb 3D. I have written 3 tutorials for MB3D. All I can suggest is try starting with the first basic tutorial and see if you can pick it up. Here are the tutorial links and the link for the free program. If you need any assistance, you can just note me, I help when I can...

The tutorials were written using older versions of MB3D, so the interface has changed. But if you carefully look around in the same areas I indicate in the screen shots, you can usually find things, sometimes under tabs that weren't there before...
